Perfect Chocolate Cake :)

I am a chocoholic. Terribly obsessed to chocolates and dreams of chocolate always :)

Every time we decide to have a dessert, I would jump up saying chocolate and never does that excitement reduce. :)

So my dream of baking a perfect chocolate cake has come true and here it is for you. :)

Ingredients:

For Cake:

All purpose flour(Maida) - 1 3/4 cups
Powdered sugar - 2 cups
Cocoa powder - 3/4 cup
Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Eggs - 2
Milk - 1 cup
Cooking Oil - 1/2 cup
Vanilla extract - 2 tsp
Boiling water - 1 cup

Method:

Stir together all the dry ingredients. Sift them and collect it in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla extract and beat on medium speed for 2 mins. Now stir in the boiling water. The batter will definitely be thin.

Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.

Grease and flour two 9-inch baking pans or any desired pan. I used one flower shaped pan and one square pan. Now pour in the prepared batter into the pans and bake in 180°C for 30-35 mins or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool on wire rack for 15 mins and frost. :)

Note: If you want your cake plain without frosting, increase the sugar level by 1/2 cup or according to taste.

Frosting:

I did a simple frosting on top of the cake by double boiling 100gms of Hershey's milk chocolate with 1/4 cup of butter. The glossy and creamy texture made the cake extra yummy :)

I also decorated the cake with some nutties, chocolate shavings and milky bar chocolates :)

serve it with vanilla ice cream. :) Its sure to be the best dessert anytime :) Impress your guests :)

Happy making. Enjoy eating :)
